What is your impression about Yahoo engineers? Are you more strict with their performance in interviews than say Google/Facebook employees? Or to put it differently are you less liberal towards Yahoo!'a than others? Will it change once we become Verizon/Oath employees? Examples?
Talking to recruiters Intel software folks have a similar abysmal statistic. i think the reason is that one doesn't need leetcode to get into most Intel SW jobs (maybe leetcode Easy only). So intel folks are just totally unprepared. Generally intel doesn't interview that way because it can't pay that way. Ive heard that AI and ADAS are quite the opposite tho - if you want those jobs within Intel you had better be good, Facebook and Google worthy, and your pay package will be very competitive.
There is an assumption that many of the best Yahoo engineers have already left. Also Yahoo's hiring standard has dropped significantly in last few years. I don't have any bias against or towards Yahoo engineers, but most of them that I have interviews are not very good.
I was rejected by Yahoo last year for having under a 3.5 GPA, but got Facebook offer.
Just because you got an offer from Facebook doesn't mean that you are genius. Everyone knows the interview process is screwed up and it's all about leetcode and luck. I am not saying that everyone got in Facebook by just doing leetcode. There are like 5% people who are super smart and have proved themselves. The rest is all practicing leetcode and algorithm questions
I got good feedback after the onsite, and hiring manager asked me for my transcript to move forward with the offer. Then got rejected since my GPA was 0.2 too low lol.
Really. This never happened with me. At the time I was at Yahoo, I actually was 0.2 low just like you but they never found out lol.
Why Yahoo!'s engineers are being targeted? We already have been through a lot, guys leave us alone. Plus not everyone that are good are left. It just could be everyone who cud spend time doing leetcode left. People like me with 2 years old kid and hectic role have no time to solve leetcode.
I know one super impressive candidate from G who failed miserably in Y!
Enough of this BS. My best wishes to everyone. I hope yall get to do interesting stuff wherever you are and grow further in your career. I apologize for being rude. No one deserves that.
No bias against Yahoo. However, I haven't seen an impressive candidate from Yahoo yet while there were a few from G and F. (Sample set: ~5 Yahoo interviews)
impressive means nailed 2 medium leetcode questions in 20 mins?
More like "cried 3 times within 20 minutes" i guess
